Tornado Damage: Hotel SignYes, you read that right. For Mother’s Day all I got was a TORNADO to destroy my future home of residence. My new home, well would have been in a month, was hit by three F2 tornadoes. Just about every single tree is down in the area. Most of the trees took down the power lines, others landed on houses or cars. Only one person has been reported dead so that is a good thing. There is no power and it looks as if there won’t be any power for a week or two. My parents home had so many trees fall down or uproot that you couldn’t even see the grass.

The damage from the tornadoes are unreal. It looks like a photo from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I swear to you, I can not even exaggerate it is that bad. The house that we are supposed to be moving into also took a good bit of damage. There was a deck on the back of the house that is just gone. I huge tree fell on it and in the process ripped a hole in the roof as well as take the whole part of the roof in the back off! I guess this will be delaying our moving plans. We just had the house retiled and new carpets put in.

So I just wanted to give you guys a little bit of a heads up just in case I am unable to post for the rest of the week. I am cleaning up storm damage and will probably be without power for a week. Just about every single power line has been taken down by a tree.

Since we have no power nor internet access, I am on the northside of town at a coffee shop, I have been taking lots of photos of the damage and chaos all over town. I will have them uploaded on flickr whenever I get back home which will be after I clean up our new home in hopes of making it able to be moved into by the end of the month.

Please keep us in your prayers!!!
